PATTERN NOTES
It is important to wet-block the cable
panels and body to the exact measurements
for best results; steam-blocking will not
achieve as accurate a result.

The sleeves are designed to end right before
the wristbone begins. If you would like to
adjust the sleeve length,add eight rounds of
stocking stitch for every 2.5cm you want to
add, after the decrease rnds are completed.
